Scoring:

1. For questions 1, 4, 6, 9, 10 and 12 assign the following points: 5 = Very much like me 4 = Mostly like me 3 = Somewhat like me 2 = Not much like me 1 = Not like me at all

Add up all the points and divide by 12. The maximum score on this scale is 5 (extremely gritty), and the lowest scale on this scale is 1 (not at all gritty).

2. For questions 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 11 assign the following points: 1 = Very much like me 2 = Mostly like me 3 = Somewhat like me 4 = Not much like me 5 = Not like me at allTherapiesKEEP CALM

STUDY ONANDAssessment 3: The Keys to Happiness Project:We all feel unhappy with ourselves from time to time. We have learned in class about identity, personality, mental illness, and how we define "normal."

Knowing all of this, how can you "create more happiness" in your (or a friends) life? ex: Lowered Expectations10 things you don't know about Psychology, but should!Pick 10 phenomena or theories about psychology that people should know about.Describe the phenomena or theoryGive terms and definitionsGive an exampleTell us how to use it!Example:Priming: Priming is an implicit memory effect in which exposure to a stimulus influences a response to a later stimulus. It can occur following perceptual, semantic, or conceptual stimulus repetition. For example, if a person reads a list of words including the word table, and is later asked to complete a word starting with tab, the probability that he or she will answer table is greater than if they are not primed. Another example is if people see an incomplete sketch they are unable to identify and they are shown more of the sketch until they recognize the picture, later they will identify the sketch at an earlier stage than was possible for them the first time.How do we define "normal?"Neurodevelopmental disordersSchizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disordersBipolar and related disordersDepressive disordersAnxiety disordersObsessive-compulsive and related disordersTrauma- and stressor-related disordersDissociative disordersSomatic symptom and related disordersFeeding and eating disordersSleep–wake disordersSexual dysfunctionsGender dysphoriaDisruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disordersSubstance-related and addictive disordersNeurocognitive disordersParaphilic disordersPersonality disordersdisability, distress, dangerousthe DSM 5Cultural normsPersonality DisordersCluster A (odd)Paranoid * Schizoid * SchizotypalCluster B (dramatic)Antisocial * Borderline * Histrionic * NarcissisticCluster C (anxious)Avoidant * Dependent * Obsessive-Compulsivea social disorder maladaptive patterns of behavior, cognition and feelings exhibited across many contexts and deviating markedly from those accepted by the individual's culture.

Pretend that your friend has some of the same worrisome beliefs that you do. Look back over the things you wrote for questions 1-3. Pick out one of those statements and write it down, as if your friend just said it.

Now skip a line, and write a response to your friend's statement. In that response, be a compassionate, rational, and realistic thinker.

After you write your response, skip a line and have your friend reply. Maybe your friend is a bit stuck in his/her thinking. Then skip a line, and respond again to your friend. Keep this conversation going for 10 lines or so.

What do I (perhaps "secretly") get out of thinking like this?

How does it work to my advantage?

If what you JUST wrote was indeed true, what does it mean to you and why does it bother you so much?

When you think of the worst thing that could happen, do you really think that it's likely to happen?

If so, how could you learn to cope with it?

What is the worst outcome that could possibly happen?

What do you fear most of all?

If this worry of yours was indeed true, what does it mean to you and why does it bother you so much? I often worry that I ________. (fill in the blank)
